<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 105401, member: 878&quot;]Congrats and thanks. <b><u>YOU FOUND</u></b> the answer. The above linked publication I never saw. That fills in the parts I missed.</p><p><br /></p><p><i><b>Colors made include amber transparent, black, cobalt, crystal, crystal with fired-on colors, green transparent, milk and <span style="color: #b30000">pink transparent ruby</span>, and light blue transparent. There are at least two different shades of light blue--aqua and a deeper Ritz blue. In 1981, these elephants were made in crystal and filled with red, white and blue jelly beans for distribution to members of the National Federation of Republican Women. In 1983, the Tiara Exclusives Division of Indiana Glass Company marketed this elephant in pink satin, blue satin, green satin and crystal with an etching. Later, the mold was acquired by a Midwest importer and reproductions have been seen in pink, <u><span style="color: #006600">green ruby?? ....... Do they really mean green AND ruby in one piece?? Does yours have both green and red in it???? That&#039;s quite a trick moulding something like that.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </span></u>and cobalt from this source. These later issues all have a natural back.</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure which &quot;MidWest importer&quot; they mean. MidWest is a company that does sell this type item, but no imports. The one I mentioned before - AA has been importing for at least 25 years but hasn&#039;t, as far as I know, ever had a US company make anything. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d really appreciate a few pictures without the reflections. That&#039;s very difficult to do. It usually takes me ten tries on any crystal item. But if you can do it I&#039;d love a better idea of how the coloring looks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
